great brake line alternative for a 0-3/3.5" lift for your xj
Best cooling system on a Jeep XJ
zhlédnutí 136KPřed 7 lety
Best cooling system you can have on your Xj by far....works amazing and has never let me down
Whatever is being cooled by the radiator needs to have its own cooler. New cars have a power steering cooler. Clutch fan died on ours at 215k.
what’s the name of that high pitched shill that comes right as you start to rev ? mine has it too
Same bro I can't figure it out maybe it's the intake
@@arizonatrailsadventures8682 does it only do it after a cold start?
Dude can we get an update video on your Jeep? Would love to see where it’s at now.
Hey where can I get the bolt for the AC compressor ?
By the looks of that jeep you must be taking it down dirt roads real offloading will over heat a stock xj system have 3 of them and did the badge course for jeeps, one stock didn't make it an hour did it again with the 3 shrouded fan and aluminum rad never went over 180..
You’re missing the point here along with no to all of that
@flex-jsteve540 yeah ok been building jeeps over 15 years. I know bullshit when I see it..
@@theviper6602 lol sorry to hear you’re mad that you’re missing the point
@flex-jsteve540 there's no point missing bro, I literally have 2 cherokees trail rated by jeep , you don't? .. put your money where your mouth is. I'll meet you any trail you want and I promise you , your jeep won't hang ..
@@flex-jsteve540 I got 10k cash says you full of shit bro
Best sounding exhaust, with no sound. That piss-poor bro
Only person to have ever had an issue with the audio in the video. Unmuting helps
The old setup sounds good but im very curious to see your updated setup
Zero comparison new one is $2,000
Awesome, any chance we can hear it
@@tanner2018 one day just no idea when that will be crate axles just got finished only 30 miles on it have buttoning up to do before winter gets here
@@flex-jsteve540 cool to hear it's coming together, I'll be waiting
@@tanner2018 sounds good man
Good video nice description and detailed explanation of everything where did you get the hesco thermostat housing everywhere I've looked or sold out
Thanks just order it and it gets there when it gets there that’s the world now thanks to the Chinese flu
Sounds just like my straight piped ZJ 4.0
I would hope not I would never do such a thing
@@flex-jsteve540 clearly a pavement princess if you’re too prissy with your exhaust sound rather than improving performance
@@justinlouissdeguzman4599 lol how ironic….if only you knew how dumb you sounded….typical person that assumes with knowing nothing
Want kind of water pump you put on ??
Literally in the video
@@flex-jsteve540 thanks
Very nicely done and explained! I like it. If you could put the name and perhaps part # of the special parts you used to improve the stock system it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
All the names are in the video
Thank you for the video. Could please share with me the links of where to purchased the thermostat housing, and also the lower hose with the coil in it. Thanks
Names of all parts are in the video
So this won't be legal in California, or will it?
I don’t live there
Where in the world did you get a 380amp alternator for you Jeep xj???
Virtuality any custom high output alternator company. That’s not even a lot
I just happened to come across your video... I see your Jeep xj has an OR-Fab front bumper which by the way is no longer made. I think I might have bought the last one they had before OR-Fab went out of business. Yes, I have the same exact bumper on my Jeep xj. I also see that you have a winch. What I want to know is, what brand or kind of winch you have and what size is it??? I'm not sure which winch to get and by looking at yours, I thought you might be able to help with an idea. I'd very much appreciate your input.
They still make it. They shut down for a while and then they opened back up again. What you are talking about is what happened a long time ago that’s not recent at all. I have a Smittybilt x20 10k synthetic with the box relocated in the engine bay by the firewall with 2/0 wire ran for it and a 380 amp alternator.
Whats in it?
Entirely different now everything about it and axles going in in a few weeks
Recommend any lifts looking for a 3” or a 4.5”
Depends on what you’re using it for there’s a lot of factors
@@flex-jsteve540 I’m just daily driving it nothing off road I just really like the look of the lift on the car
@@shanedunn8789 I wouldn’t be daily driving an xj that’s not smart by any means but using it as a pleasure vehicle like you take it out on the weekends or something is ok but what size tire do you plan to use
Can I have all the names of the parts. That sounds really good
It’s not the same as in that video anymore that’s old now it’s Banks header chop off the flange weld on a v band 2.5” all the way to the back all 304 stainless tig welded with a high flow acat cat and a slp muffler with 2 other v bands throughout it for easier section removal
The stock setup works fine but it robs power and uses fuel. Electric fans are more efficient in that regard.
So saving a nickel every gallon of gas and 5 horsepower is more important to you than a better correct higher cfm system that is not hacked together? You’re on your own
@@flex-jsteve540 well, I’m in Australia, so when it comes to fuel, it’s not so much about the cost, it’s about the distance! Some places I travel to, fuel stations can be 500kms apart! Not only that but outback fuel prices are crazy. So yes, fuel economy matters! Also, I may be carrying a lot of extra weight or towing a boat, so yes, 5hp (actually, it’s more like 10hp) actually does matter! You need to remember that not everyone’s needs are the same as yours! Oh and why would you assume that just because my cooling system isn’t stock that it’s “hacked together”? Because it’s not. It’s high quality, tried and tested and I can crawl along all day in 45 deg C heat without overheating. But whatever, you stick with your old fashioned tech if you want to…
@@officialWWM you completely had that go over your head
@@flex-jsteve540 so did you!
@@officialWWM i didn't though....your thought process is fucked
CHECK YOUR FUEL PRESSURE. I had a weak fuel pump causing a lean running condition. Leaner mixture runs hotter. My XJ would start missing like a stormtrooper whenever I got near 210. Its kuz the fuel rail pressure was not high enough to keep the fuel from boiling. New pump, runs much cooler, and even when I have gotten it up to the line after 210, no misfire.
You’d get a cel and or notice lack of fuel pressure lol
@@flex-jsteve540 nope. My 2000 Cherokee never once threw any cel other than a p0303. Cyl 3 misfire. And that was only if I sat with it idling too long. Fuel pressure got so shitty that it would just fall on its face if I tried to throttle up at all. When I finally tested fuel pressure with a gauge rather than depressing the Schrader on the rail, she made a whopping 3 - 7 psi. New fuel pump also solved what I thought was a transmission issue, nah just turned out it couldn't supply the necessary amount of fuel.
@@TheRealMikeWilly so that’s yes not nope go back and reread
@@flex-jsteve540 cel was intermittent and would clear itself after a few drive cycles if it didn't get hot. Snap on Apollo D9 scan tool identified the problem as bad coil or bad plug. Injector was functioning as designed and there's no fuel pressure sensor, never once did it point towards the fuel pump. Lack of power was definitely noticed but was attributed to 37's on 3.55's. I've had plenty of 4.0s but never had such large tires on such a tall ratio until I picked up this one. Nevertheless, a fuel pressure test never hurts unless you spray it in your eyes and according to FSM 43 psi is the minimal pressure acceptable.
Looking for a lower hose with the spring in it 96 Cherokee XJ 4.0 HO. Looking for a factory coolant temp sensor with gauge same vehicle. Also looking for factory radiator same vehicle. Also looking for a quick disconnect for the automatic transmission line The female end. I didn't catch what kind of thermostat housing you have on it thank you for your time
What happened to the channel? You were recording some good video. Would like to see updates on the XJ.
Life happened. Basically everything on the jeep is different now.
@@flex-jsteve540 I hear you brother. Well if you decide to I would love to see a video of what you have done to it. 👍
@@dieselwrench3621 oh for sure one day since then axles transmission engine steering all done easily close to 20 grand later lol
@@flex-jsteve540 20 grand! She must be looking pretty good and running great. Can’t wait to see a new video👍
@@dieselwrench3621 none of it is visual and not running perfect yet
I have a 1999 jeep Cherokee I'ma jdm guy but my mom fucked me up n bought my first car I'm starting to like it and I need new muffler and brake line n brake pads any suggestions looking to clean mine up and make it a monster
Those jap cars a waste of your time. My entire exhaust is different now it’s Banks header chop off the flange weld on a v band 2.5” all the way to the back all 304 stainless tig welded with a high flow acat cat and a slp muffler with 2 other v bands throughout it for easier section removal. I have mopar hard lines and crown performance extended lines. As far as brakes I can’t answers because you need to tell me if you have stock tires or bigger
I had put in a 180 thermostat , temp drop drastically and getting better mpg
All wrong
Cool
No le entiendo nada el Ingles.
No idea what you’re saying
What size lift and tires bro?
A trash lift that was on it when I bought it and it went straight in the trash but I bought the tires Michelin defender ltx
What year is your jeep?
2000
What part of OH you from?
Parma
@@flex-jsteve540 I’m from Canton
@@stephenvick2385 I need a fucking hood my friend has one that’s my paint code but haven’t been able to get a hold of him in forever….you go to sor?
Where you get those headlights?
Off of HID projectors
Where did you get that sticker on the front windshield? I like it a lot
I want to say eBay but it’s cheap shit it’s pealing already I would just get it custom made by someone with quality shit
I have a 1994 Grand Cherokee Limited (5.2) And I wants to lift it myself 3” I will like to see a video of what I need to buy and how to do it
I have a xj….
@@flex-jsteve540 ok thank you
Where did you buy your new thermostat housing
1:40
I put two stock AC fans in mine and got rid of that clutch fan and mine works pretty good I just hooked them up to my ignition so they run all the time and in the winter time I will probably just pull the fuse for the one on my driver side and just run the passenger side one
Hard pass
What was the brand on the thermostat housing?
Hesco
its all stock am i missing something
That’s the point….quality stock system using mostly factory parts
Can you post a parts list for the cooling system youre running? Please sir!? 😅
They are says in the video man
Hey I’ve been trying to find factory cooling systems part but I’m having a hard time finding them. Gone to the dealerships here and they keep telling that they carry them anymore! I have a 2000 Jeep Cherokee 4.0L
Use the internet why are you going into the dealer? Go to a Mopar parts sure put your vin in get the part number and put it in google
110k views and 500 followers unbelievable
Why is that?
If you turn on subtitles when you rev it it says [music] and [applause]
Does it really? Haha
It does 😂😂😂
Are you still active
Comments yes, videos I’m hoping to by or before summer.
Where did you get those headlights?
Hidprojectors.com
@@flex-jsteve540 Thanks a ton 👍
@@JohnSmith-ot9sc no problem
Did you have problems with the hesco thermostat housing leaking from the bottom of it? I've put on 4 blue gaskets from autozone, before I replaced the OEM thermostat housing it wasn't leaking before but now it is. I haven't checked to see if their is any cracks on the head where the thermostat housing goes on but I doubt it's cracked though. Can you give me some advice why it's leaking?
There’s only a handful of ways it’ll leak. You didn’t put the hose on all the way, it’s cracked, it’s not machined flat, you didn’t clean the surface well, you didn’t rtv both sides of the gasket, you didn’t torque correctly.
@@flex-jsteve540 Thanks for the quick reply I did put new hoses all around and their pretty tight on the connections I did clean off the surface too. About how much torque should I torque them down to.
@@nicholaschavez9383 No problem, don’t remember what it is. Give it a quick google search.
@@flex-jsteve540 Ok will do!
flush your systems, y'all
I don’t even see how that needs to even be brought up. That’s like saying wipe your ass after you shit.
Hey my 1998 Jeep Cherokee shuts off and it over heats, but it has a 1996 motor in it. We are going to replace the radiation and I am watching videos on CZcams. Can you please help me.
Make sure you didn’t do any damage....then replace whole cooling system
Did you say the water pump is a “four cooler” “full cooler” or “flow cooler”?
Flow kooker but I use a hesco water pump now
Nevermind found it
Ohhh shoot I literally just ordered the flowkooler should I cancel and get the Hesco?
@@jonathanesteva4265 yeah hesco pump and housing is good stuff
@@jonathanesteva4265 yeah for sure you can’t go wrong with top shelf cooling components it’s better than replacing your whole engine which is a whole video coming to here one day lol
Where did you get the spring for the lower hose

What about it?
Old vid Iknow, but maybe you'll get this question. What lift and tire size are you running? Nice stance
Trash “3” lift” that was on it when I bought it sat probably at 2” typical rough country trash that’s gotten removed a while ago it’s still on 31 Michelin defender ltx
